A delightful selection of three short stories that will touch you © Copyright. Peter Hanami, 2014. All rights reserved,
I really enjoy Banana Yoshimoto’s books and this book of short stories is no exception. Her way of blending human feelings in a way that is powerful and insightful. In this book we are lucky to read three separate stories. Story 1 Is called Night & Night Travelers. The narrator Shibami tells the story of her brothers relationship with a foreigner, Sarah and how her brother died. Her cousin Mari had dated him after he broke up with Sarah. She explores the complexities of relationships and how they impact others lives. Sarah had a boyfriend and a child but Mari has trouble getting over Yoshihiro’s death. Shibami brings it all together in a powerful & personal way. In story, 2 Love songs, Fumi recalls old friend Haru and the man they both shared.She felt she was communicating with her by drinking, the gap between drunk and not drunk. Mizuo her boyfriend arranges a meeting with a psychic where she gets to talk to Haru & say her final goodbyes. In the final story 3, Asleep, Terako an office worker becomes a mistress to an office manager at her old work place as his wife is in hospital. She is recruited to a paid job where she sleeps next to paying customers. She has ongoing thoughts about Shiori a friend who killed herself and worries about where her relationship is going while watching summer fireflies As a reader you will meet some strong characters, learn about loves, relationships and difficulties encountered. All the stories are set in Japan and you will feel the impact of culture seeping in to color each story. Human stories with deep insights that explore relationships, people, life and the complexities that bind us all.
